[The Fact | Reporter Park Ji-yoon] Actors Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga show off a unique ensemble.

Distributor Warner Bros. Korea Co., Ltd. released the main poster for the movie 'Joker: Folie à Deux' (directed by Todd Phillips) on the 20th. The photo captures the intense visuals of Joker (played by Joaquin Phoenix) and Harley Quinn (played by Lady Gaga), capturing attention.

First, Joker stimulates viewers' curiosity with his indecipherable expression hidden behind his heavy makeup. Also, Harley Quinn catches the eye as she stares at Joker with eyes that seem completely captivated by him. In particular, Joker and Harley Quinn are holding hands as if they can't escape each other, raising expectations about what kind of new narrative the two will unfold.

'Joker: Folie à Deux' is the second story of 'Joker', which ranked 6th in the worldwide box office in 2019 and achieved box office revenue of 1 billion dollars worldwide and mobilized 5.25 million viewers in Korea, causing a box office syndrome. Director Todd Phillips, who took the megaphone again after 'Joker', plans to show a unique atmosphere and genre appeal different from the previous film.

Thanks to this, 'Joker: Folie à Deux' has been invited to the competition section of the 81st Venice International Film Festival, which opens on the 28th, achieving the feat of being invited for the second consecutive time following the previous film.

Being invited to the Venice International Film Festival, which is considered one of the world's top three film festivals along with the Cannes International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival, is like proving the high quality of the work. While 'Joker' (2019) won the Golden Lion Award, the highest award at the 76th Venice International Film Festival, attention is focused on what new records 'Joker: Folie à Deux' will add.

'Folie à Deux' is a medical term for a psychosis that occurs in two people who are in a close relationship, called affective psychosis. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, who have captivated the public with their passionate performances in each work, are drawing attention to what kind of shocking story they will once again captivate audiences around the world with in this work.

'Joker: Folie à Deux' is scheduled to be released in October.
